Savings

Firstly...why should you save money and how much should you save?

You never know what is around the corner and it is always a good idea to have a little bit of money stashed away
in case of a rainy day. Money kept in a savings account can earn a very good rate of interest if you make the right
choices.

It is recommended that your savings should, as a minimum, be equivalent to 3 or 4 months wages. You'll need to be aware
that some high interest accounts will require you to give a period of notice before withdrawing your money, so make sure
that you at least have some of your savings in accounts where you can get immediate access to the cash, even if this means
accepting that you'll receive a lower rate of interest.

Keep an eye out for a large number of banks that do now offer high interest, instant access accounts online. They may
well be able to offer you a better deal than their high street rivals. Some banks also offer good interest rates on current accounts.
